Date, Fuwa, Mutsu's all looking rather humbled in 2ndStringer uniforms.
I wonder if the reason they're sitting together is because the rest of the camp don't want to speak to them. They did behave like sheer assholes after all to their own year group.

I really don't want #6 to be another HS with just high base stats. It'll also contribute to making #2 looks absolutely insane for being able to fend off BOTH Sanada and Akutsu by himself. I don't think any characters should be THAT strong, really.

Most of the thing I post is probably assumption if it's not a fact that I support using some evidence from the manga.

If you knows you're on my ignore list and you quote my post, there's high chance I would ignore you. Or answer you and not look at your response.

Re: Shin Prince of Tennis Chapter 99 Discussion/Predictions

After three MS matches lost in a row, and Sanada and Akutsu, both of them having a lot of hype and two characters that are irrelevant to the story, Sanada/Akutsu have 100% chances to win this one. I don't expect that much of a fight from Oomagari, Shuuji will show us and display strong skills, then Sanada will use BA and some crazy combination with Akutsu and completely own them.

I'd love to see Sanada and Akutsu crushing both of them for the sake of MS and because Sanada is totally going to make it to the top 10 and he'll be the No.2

Not happening.
From what we've seen on their characters, Akutsu doesn't give a damn about Sanada and spoke to Sanada like how he speaks to any MSer.
And Akutsu's a well-known thug around Tokyo so Akutsu is one of the 3 MSers who I don't expect Sanada to simply kick his ass.
If Akutsu runs away Sanada can't do a thing.

But I expect Sanada to tell Akutsu what's up. If Akutu tries to play up during the match I'm expecting Sanada to set him straight.
Sanada I think is the only MSer besides Tezuka, Yukimura and Atobe who seem to carry around their level of leadership wherever they go.

When I say carry it around with them, for example there is no Adult coach for Rikkai, Yukimura runs the leads the massive club.
Even in the camp, the Revolution are being lead by Yukimura back to the camp.
Yukimura wasn't even part of the losers but he is leading the way

I don't want to go on and on about Yukimura's leadership since there's too many examples.
Since Yukimura is the only current captain

For Atobe, he is the leader of the biggest tennis club in the series, not only is he the absolute leader like Tezuka and Yukimura, but in Hyotei there is no Vice-Captain. This just shows his absolute leadership is just as good as the other two. The way Atobe got the S1 slot in the TeamShuffle too.
When he tells Tezuka to leave the team in his magnificent hands,
Everybody pretty much accepts Atobe saying he's running things now (Minus Oni who is hard to count is just being a GateKeeper for all the low courts).

Tezuka is also one of the top leaders needless to say.

Pretty much confirming Sanada is Court Leader for 2ndCourt.
Telling Ryoma what to do, and all.

Sure Yanagi controlled Kirihara, but remember Kirihara wouldn't even attempt or dream of giving resistance against the leadership of Yukimura or Sanada.
Remember when he flinches at Tokugawa, he said it reminds him of Yuki.

But I guess you could say Shiraishi and Yanagi have high levels of leadership.

Re: Shin Prince of Tennis Chapter 99 Discussion/Predictions

There are various characters with leadership characteristics, like the ones mentioned. Out of all of them, however, I think Yukimura and Sanada are the most refined. Tezuka doesn't really lead lol. He just kinda stands there and occasionally says "Don't let your guard down." I don't know about you guys, but that has never meant anyone was a leader by any standard. I think Tezuka could learn a few things from Rikkaidai, imo. I think aside from Rikkaidai, Tachibana is the only other person who has shown fantastic leadership. I think Atobe's leadership is overrated in comparison to what he actually does. Yes, Atobe is a leader. However, practically speaking, I don't think the followers he gets actually lines up with how well he leads. I think people just follow Atobe because of his charismatic personality more than any notion of him being a good leader. Shiraishi has leadership skills as well, albeit very unorthodox.

All in all, I see Yukimura and Sanada having the ability to flat out run the whole club, and I think Tachibana is one of the less prominent characters that has proven himself to be one of the best examples of a great leader.
